This  is  the  story  of  T.C.S.  boys  at  war,  and  more  particularly 
of  those  who  served  in  the  Second  World  War  of  1939-1945. 


Trinity  College  School  is  of  no  great  age;  it  marked  its 
seventy-fifth  birthday  on  May  1st,  1940,  when  a  memorable 
celebration  was  held  at  Port  Hope.  Yet  three  times  its  boys 
have  heard  the  call  to  war,  and  three  times  they  have  responded 
in  full  measure.  A  number  of  those  who  served  in  the  First 
World  War  or  in  the  Second  World  War  were  only  fourteen  years 
of  age  when  war  broke  out;  many  of  those  on  active  service  in 
the  Second  World  War  had  already  seen  service  in  the  First 
World  War.  Over  a  third  of  all  the  boys  who  have  entered  the 
School  in  eighty-three  years  have  enlisted  in  time  of  war. 

T.C.S.  people  have  often  regretted  the  absence  of  any  com- 
plete record  of  the  part  played  by  Old  Boys  in  the  South  African 
War  and  the  First  World  War.  A  paper-covered  booklet  was 
issued  in  1919  but  the  information  was  far  from  complete.  Only 
the  summaries  of  such  service  can  now  be  given,  but  it  will  be 
noticed  how  the  whole-hearted  and  full  response  of  1914-1918 
was  reflected  in  1939-1945.  Those  killed  in  action  were  most 
happily  much  fewer  in  number  in  the  Second  World  War,  owing, 
of  course,  to  the  different  character  of  the  fighting. 

In  the  brief  stories  about  T.C.S.  Old  Boys  in  the  Second 
World  War  there  are  bound  to  be  many  omissions.  Despite  our 
every  effort  to  obtain  all  the  important  details,  it  has  been  found 
impossible  in  many  cases  to  give  more  than  the  naked  outline  of 
the  service  rendered. 


The  record  speaks  for  itself.  No  verbal  embellishment  can 
add  to  this  story  of  simple  gallantry  and  service  by  a  com- 
paratively small  group  of  men  who  had  attended  the  same  School. 
But  we  who  knew  them  well  can  never  forget  them  and  their 
bravery  in  defence  of  the  ideals  of  democracy.

THE   FIRST   WORLD   WAR 
1914  -  1918 

Until  1924  when  the  new  Junior  School  was  opened,  the  maximum 
number  of  boys  in  the  School  in  any  one  year  was  one  hundred 
and  forty. 

Those  who  enlisted 596 

(Including  nine  former  Masters) 

Those  who  were  killed 123 

Awards  won  for  gallantry  or 

distinguished  service    180 

The  number  of  Old  Boys  who  enlisted  was  equal  to  90%  of  all 
the  boys  who  left  the  School  during  the  twenty  years  before  the 
war. 


THE   SECOND   WORLD   WAR 

Those  who  enlisted  855 

(Including  twenty  former  Masters) 

In  the  Army 453 

In  the  Navy  188 

In  the  Air  Force  214 

Those  who  were  killed  60 

Awards  won  for  gallantry 

or  distinguished  service  184 

Those  who  had  served  in  the  First 

World  War 60 

The  number  of  T.C.S.  boys  on  active  service  in  the  Second 
World  War  was  equal  to  over  98  r/c  of  all  the  boys  who  left  the 
School  during  the  twenty  years  before  the  war. 

The  number  of  awards  won  by  T.C.S.  boys  is  quite  exceptional. 
It  is  equal  to  twenty-one  per  cent  of  the  total  enlistment  and 
probably  over  thirty  per  cent  of  those  who  took  part  in  the  actual 
fighting. 

Over  fourteen  hundred  T.C.S.  boys  served  in  three  wars  or 
41%  of  all  boys  who  entered  the  School  hi  the  seventy-four 
years  before  the  beginning  of  the  Second  World  War.

THE    WAR    OF     1939-1945 


"Yet  can  I  not  persuade  me  thou  art  dead, 
Oh  no!  for  something  in  thy  face  did  shine 
Above  mortality  that  showed  thou  wast  divine.'

ALEXANDER,   T.    L. 

Alexander,  Thomas  Laird,  C36-'39),  was  born  November  27,  1920, 
at  Toronto,  Ontario.  He  came  to  T.C.S.  in  September  1936  and  in  his 
final  year  was  a  member  of  the  Fifth  Form,  played  on  Bigside  football 
and  won  his  second  team  colours.  He  continued  his  studies  for  a  year  at 
high  school  in  Toronto  prior  to  enlisting  in  the  Armed  Forces. 

He  received  his  commission  as  2nd  Lieutenant  with  the  Algonquin 
Regiment  in  1940  and  was  promoted  Lieutenant  on  completion  of  his 
training  at  Camp  Borden  in  October  1940.  He  served  with  his  regiment 
in  Newfoundland  during  1942-43  and  was  created  a  Member  of  the  Order 
of  the  British  Empire  in  His  Majesty's  Birthday  Honours  in  June  1943 
for  "bravery  and  presence  of  mind  in  a  difficult  situation".  Later  it  was 
learned  that  he  had  conducted  himself  heroically  during  a  critical  fire. 

He  proceeded  overseas  in  this  year  and  was  promoted  to  the  rank 
of  Captain.  He  landed  in  France  shortly  after  D-Day,  and  was  reported 
missing  on  September  17,  1944.  Wounded  in  action,  he  was  taken  prisoner 
and  removed  to  Oflag  79,  Germany,  where  he  was  freed  in  April  1945. 
He  returned  to  Canada  but  died  on  August  26,  1945,  while  undergoing 
an  operation  to  remove  two  German  machine  gun  bullets.

frew,  Ontario.  He  spent  only  one  year  at  T.C.S.  but  in  that  short  time 
he  proved  himself  an  invaluable  member  of  the  first  football  team,  being 
awarded  a  Distinction  Cap.  He  left  the  School  from  the  Sixth  Form  to 
enlist  in  the  R.N.F.A.A.  in  May  1943,  and  was  posted  to  Lee-on-Splent  in 
June,  later  to  H.M.C.S.  Argus  and  St.  Vincent  for  initial  training.  In

1944  he  went  to  Kingston  where  he  received  his  wings  in  June. 

Proceeding  to  the  United  Kingdom  in  July,  he  was  stationed  in 
Cumberland  and  promoted  to  the  rank  of  Sub-Lieutenant.  In  January 

1945  he  underwent  instruction  in   flying  from  aircraft  carriers,  and  at 
the  end  of  this  month  he  was  appointed  to  H.M.S.  Implacable  and  pro- 
ceeded to  the  Pacific.     While  engaged  in  bombing  Truk  in  the  Carolinas 
he   was    reported    missing,    and   is  believed  to  have   been   shot  down  by 
Japanese  anti-aircraft  fire  at  the  airfield  of  Kure.

BILKEY,   J.    D. 

Bilkey,  James  Dalton  C29-'34),  was  born  March  29,  1916,  at  Ottawa, 
Ontario.  In  his  final  year  at  T.C.S.,  he  was  a  member  of  the  Fourth  Form 
and  one  of  the  best  gymnasts  in  the  School,  being  a  star  performer  on 
the  first  Gym.  eight.  He  also  played  quarterback  on  the  Middleside 
football  team,  was  a  member  of  the  Middleside  hockey  team,  and 
obtained  his  second  team  cricket  colours.  Because  of  his  all-round 
proficiency  in  the  work  of  the  Cadet  Corps,  he  won  the  Instructor's  Cup 
for  the  best  cadet. 

After  leaving  the  School,  he  spent  a  year  at  Lower  Canada  College 
and  then  entered  the  University  of  Bishop's  College  where  he  played  on 
most  of  the  first  teams  and  distinguished  himself  as  a  quarterback  on 
the  football  team.  Later  he  took  a  position  with  the  Montreal  Daily  Star 
but  left  to  enlist  in  the  R.C.A.F.  in  November  1939.  He  was  making  a 
training  flight  near  Dunnville  on  December  14,  1940,  when  his  machine 
went  out  of  control  and  crashed,  killing  him  instantly.

when  his  pilot  was  unable  to  fly,  he  volunteered  as  navigator  with 
another  crew.  Over  Hamburg,  his  Wellington  ran  into  very  heavy  anti- 
aircraft fire  and  the  plane  was  badly  hit.  The  pilot  gave  orders  to  bail 
out  and  two  of  the  crew  jumped.  With  the  lighter  load,  the  rest  of  the 
crew  decided  to  try  to  get  home.  They  reached  the  East  Anglian  coast 
safely  and  the  pilot  tried  to  make  an  emergency  landing.  The  crash 
killed  both  the  pilot  and  Steven  Cartwright;  the  rear  gunner,  who  lived 
a  short  time,  related  the  details.  Cartwright  was  the  first  Rhodes  Scholar 
to  be  killed  in  the  Second  World  War  and  was  posthumously  awarded

they  met  stiff  opposition;  his  company  was  sent  around  the  town  to 
engage  the  enemy  from  the  flank,  and  with  his  platoon  leading,  began 
an  attack  in  strength.  In  the  midst  of  heavy  German  shell-fire,  he  moved

Heinkel  111.  During  this  action  his  aircraft  was  badly  damaged  but  by 
skilful  handling,  he  was  able  to  fly  it  back  to  base.  On  May  24,  single- 
handed,  he  courageously  diverted  an  attack  by  four  Messerschmitt  110's 
causing  the  enemy  to  abandon  their  attack  on  Bardu  Foss  aerodrome. 
The  next  day  he  attacked  single-handed  two  Junkers  90's  and  after 
causing  one  to  retreat  and  jettison  its  bombs  in  the  sea,  he  attacked  the 
second  aircraft  and  shot  it  down  in  flames.  On  June  9,  1940,  while  he 
and  his  companions  were  being  evacuated  aboard  the  aircraft  carrier 
"Glorious",  German  pocket  battleships  surprised  the  convoy  and  sank 
all  the  ships.  As  no  messages  were  received  and  no  survivors  found, 
the  Air  Ministry  declared  him  officially  killed  in  action,  presumably  on 
June  9,  1940.

Jim  performed  magnificiently  in  his  efforts  to  extricate  his  boys,  until 
a  direct  hit  from  a  shell  killed  him  instantly.  He  had  made  no  effort 
to  spare  or  shield  himself  and  his  unselfishness  cost  him  his  life". 

The  Colonel  of  his  regiment,  later  Major-General  B.  M.  Hoff- 
meister,  D.S.O.,  wrote  as  follows:  "We  all  feel  that  Jim  was  one  of  the 
finest  officers  in  every  way  ever  to  serve  in  this  Brigade;  he  distinguished 
himself  on  staff  and  particularly  with  the  regiment.  His  leadership 
and  courage  are  an  example  to  all  of  us  and  were  reflected  throughout 
the  company  down  to  the  last  man.  Few  officers  have  had  the  respect 
and  confidence  of  the  men  to  the  extent  that  Jim  enjoyed".

OSLER,  R.  F. 

Osier,  Robert  Free  C21-'29),  was  born  December  26,  1910,  at 
Toronto,  Ontario.  He  came  to  T.C.S.  at  the  age  oi  eleven  and  took  an 
enthusiastic  part  in  all  the  activities  of  the  School,  becoming  especially 
proficient  at  cricket.  For  two  years  he  was  a  member  of  the  first  cricket 
team  and  also  played  on  Bigside  football  and  hockey,  winning  second 
team  colours  in  both  these  sports.  He  left  the  School  from  the  Fifth  Form, 
entering  the  firm  of  Osier  and  Hammond,  Investment  Brokers,  Toronto. 
After  a  serious  illness  he  decided  to  practice  farming  and  attended  O.A.C. 
in  Guelph.  He  later  returned  to  the  business  world  and  after  gaining 
experience  in  New  York  and  London,  joined  a  firm  in  Montreal. 

He  received  his  commission  in  the  48th  Highlanders  of  Canada  at 
the  outbreak  of  war  and  went  overseas  with  his  regiment  in  1940.  He 
trained  in  England  until  1943  when  he  took  part  in  the  invasion  of  Sicily. 
While  serving  as  a  platoon  commander  in  "D"  Company  of  his  regiment, 
he  was  killed  in  action  on  July  25,  1943,  when  his  men  came  under  heavy 
machine  gun  fire  during  an  attack. 

The  action  is  described  by  one  of  his  men  as  follows:  "All  the  way 
up  the  coast  his  Company,  with  "B"  Company,  had  been  taking  the 
major  part  of  the  fighting  for  the  battalion,  being  the  leading  Companies 
in  most  of  the  attacks  and  especially  when  the  objective  appeared  to 
promise  tough  going  and  hard  fighting.  In  the  action  on  the  night  of 
Sunday,  July  25,  "B"  Company  attacked  a  ridge  and  "D"  Company  a 
high  hill  overlooking  the  ridge.  They  both  came  under  enemy  fire  and 
when  they  got  to  the  top  they  came  up  against  very  heavy  machine  gun 
cross  fire.  Bobs'  Company  suffered  many  casualties  and  Bobs  himself 
got  a  blast  from  a  machine  gun  which  killed  him  instantly".  In  the  press 
report  of  the  action  it  was  stated  that  he  deliberately  drew  the  fire  of 
the  enemy  in  order  to  protect  another  party  of  his  men.

PAGE,  W.   D. 

Page,  Walter  David  (Master,  '38-'40),  was  born  March  7,  1918,  in 
London,  England.  He  attended  Lake  Lodge  School,  Grimsby,  later  going 
on  to  Bishop's  College  School  at  Lennoxville.  A  brilliant  student,  he 
graduated  from  Bishop's  University  in  1936  with  an  honours  degree  in 
mathematics  at  the  age  of  eighteen.  He  was  also  a  fine  athlete,  and 
represented  his  school  and  college  in  rugby,  hockey  and  cricket.  After 
graduation,  he  was  in  business  for  two  years  and  in  September  1938 
joined  the  staff  of  the  Junior  School.  He  instituted  the  Junior  School 
Press  and  encouraged  acting  among  the  small  boys  by  writing  and 
directing  several  short  plays.  He  was  also  very  fond  of  music  and  sang 
in  the  Choir  both  as  a  boy  at  school  and  as  a  Master  at  T.C.S. 

He  enlisted  in  the  R.C.A.F.  in  July  1940  and  received  his  wings  in 
March  1941.  Going  overseas  in  July  of  the  same  year,  he  was  attached 
to  a  bomber  training  squadron  in  Scotland,  and  later  to  214  (R.A.F.) 
Squadron,  Bomber  Command,  being  promoted  to  Flight  Sergeant  in 
March  1942  and  to  Warrant  Officer  at  the  beginning  of  the  following 
month.  He  made  many  raids  over  Germany  and  occupied  France  as 
second  pilot  and  became  commander  of  his  crew  in  March  1942  on  pro- 
motion to  Flight  Sergeant.  During  the  historic  raid  on  Lubeck  his  plane 
was  first  over  the  target.  On  April  1  he  was  promoted  to  Warrant  Officer. 
On  the  15th  he  was  reported  killed  in  air  operations  over  the  Continent

PEACOCK,   J.   W.    F. 

Peacock,  John  William  Frederick  C35-'38),  was  born  March  9,  1920, 
at  Montreal,  Quebec.  At  T.C.S.  he  was  a  good  student  and  showed  much 
skill  at  games,  in  his  final  year  winning  first  team  colours  in  football, 
hockey  and  cricket.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  first  squash  team. 
Because  of  his  sound  character  and  leadership  ability  he  was  made  a 
Senior  in  1937  and  soon  afterwards  was  appointed  a  Prefect.  From  T.C.S. 
he  entered  McGill  University  and  was  a  member  of  the  C.O.T.C.,  and  a 
reserve  officer  in  the  Black  Watch  (R.H.R.)  of  Canada. 

He  was  commissioned  Pilot  Officer  in  the  radio  branch  of  the 
R.C.A.F.  in  September  1941  and  went  overseas  in  October  of  the  same 
year.  He  qualified  for  his  Navigator  wing  while  attached  to  the  R.C.A.F., 
and  late  in  1942  began  flying  operationally  with  409  (R.C.A.F.)  Squadron, 
making  sorties  over  the  Continent  in  Boulton-Paul  Defiants,  Beaufighters 
and  later  Mosquitoes.  He  was  promoted  Flight  Lieutenant  early  the 
following  summer  and  began  a  navigation  leaders  course,  at  the  con- 
clusion of  which  he  returned  to  his  squadron.  He  was  Mentioned  in 
Despatches  in  the  1944  New  Year's  Honours  List  and  continued  on 
operations  until  his  aircraft  was  shot  down  on  August  7,  1944.  While 
patrolling  over  the  Normandy  beachhead  about  ten  miles  southeast  of 
Bayeux,  his  aircraft  was  attacked  by  German  fighters  and  he  could  not 
get  clear  before  he  crashed.  At  the  time  of  his  death,  he  was  officially 
credited  with  destroying  five  enemy  planes  and  with  damaging  a  sixth. 

Wing  Commander  Beveridge,  his  Commanding  Officer,  wrote  of 
his  death  as  follows:  "I  cannot  express  in  full  the  deep  regret  that  my 
entire  Squadron  feel  at  this  moment.  I  speak  with  particular  feeling 
since  I  was  with  John  until  the  last  moment  and  it  was  he  who  saved 
my  life  by  pushing  me  free  from  the  aircraft,  as  we  came  down  out  of 
control.  We  were  on  patrol  over  the  Beach  Head  during  the  early  hours 
of  August  7  when  we  were  suddenly  attacked  by  fighters.  John  gave 
me  the  warning  as  they  attacked;  but  before  I  could  take  avoiding  action, 
we  had  been  hit  and  were  out  of  control — our  tail  had  been  cut  off.  We 
immediately  set  about  getting  clear  of  the  aircraft  in  the  conventional 

Page  Forty-five 


manner  which  is  out  of  the  side.  Apparently  John  was  having  difficulty, 
for  when  I  asked  him  what  was  wrong,  he  only  replied  that  he  couldn't 
jettison  the  door.  Accordingly  I  immediately  jettisoned  the  hatch  in  the 
roof  directly  over  my  head  and  tried  to  get  clear;  however,  I  found  my- 
self stuck  half-in,  half-out  at  the  last  minute,  not  being  able  to  clear 
myself  through  my  own  efforts.  I  suddenly  came  clear.  The  only  ex- 
planation I  can  give  is  that  John,  unable  to  get  his  hatch  open,  decided 
that  one  of  us  at  least  should  get  out  and  came  to  my  rescue,  unselfishly 
abandoning  hope  for  himself,  and  pushed  me  from  behind.  My  parachute 
opened  just  in  time,  as  I  hit  the  ground  a  minute  later.  Thus  John  had 
no  time  to  follow  me,  and  was  killed  instantly  when  the  aircraft  crashed 
about  fifteen  yards  from  me."

REDPATH,  J.   G. 

Redpath,  John  George  C37-'39),  was  born  February  28,  1923,  in 
Montreal,  Quebec.  He  attended  T.C.S.  for  two  years  and  during  that 
period  took  an  active  part  in  the  life  of  the  School.  In  his  last  year  he 
was  a  member  of  the  Fourth  Form  and  played  on  the  Littleside  football 
and  cricket  teams,  and  the  Middleside  hockey  team.  After  he  left  T.C.S., 
he  attended  Westmount  High  School  and  then  entered  McGill  University 
where  he  did  well. 

In  1942,  during  his  second  year,  he  enlisted  in  the  R.C.A.F.  and 
was  commissioned  Pilot  Officer  in  the  autumn  of  1943.  He  was  selected 
as  an  instructor  and  posted  to  Uplands.  He  remained  there  on  attach- 
ment for  six  months  and  had  logged  700  flying  hours  instructing  pupils, 
when  on  August  5,  1944,  his  plane  collided  with  another  one  and  crashed, 
killing  him  instantly.

REID,    R.    M. 

Reid,  Robert  Maxwell  CS-l-'S?),  was  born  August  25,  1918,  in  Lon- 
don, England.  He  came  to  T.C.S.  from  Vancouver  and  took  an  active 
part  in  school  life.  In  his  last  year  he  was  a  member  of  the  Fifth  Form 
and  played  on  Bigside  football  and  cricket,  winning  his  second  team 
colours  in  both  sports.  He  also  played  on  the  basketball  team  of  1937. 
After  he  left  School,  he  took  a  course  in  aeronautics  at  the  Boeing 
Aircraft  Plant  in  California. 

He  enlisted  in  the  R.C.A.F.  in  1940  and  went  overseas  in  October 
1941  as  a  Sergeant  Pilot.  Winning  promotion  to  Pilot  Officer,  he  took 
part  in  many  bomber  operations,  and  on  February  25,  1943,  was  reported 
missing.  He  was  flying  a  Wellington  to  India  and  presumably  crashed 
over  occupied  France  or  in  the  Bay  of  Biscay.  He  was  later  officially 
presumed  killed.

ROGERS,   E.   B. 

Rogers,  Edward  Britton  C22-'25),  was  born  September  9,  1908,  at 
Hamilton,  Ontario.  In  his  three  years  at  T.C.S.  he  won  many  friends 
and  in  his  last  year  he  was  a  member  of  the  Fifth  Form  and  played  on 
Bigside  football,  being  awarded  second  team  colours.  He  was  also  a 
member  of  the  Middleside  cricket  team. 

He  went  on  to  the  Royal  Military  College  of  Canada  and  upon 
graduating,  attended  the  University  of  Toronto.  He  then  joined  the 
St.  Lawrence  Steel  and  Wire  Company  in  Gananoque  and  rose  rapidly 
to  become  Vice-President  of  the  Company.  He  took  an  active  part  in 
the  affairs  of  his  community,  was  a  member  of  the  Gananoque  Town 
Council  and  a  president  of  the  Golf  and  Country  Club. 

He  was  commissioned  in  the  R.C.A.  in  1941  and  went  overseas  in 
the  rank  of  Major.  He  took  part  in  the  invasion  of  the  Continent  while 
commanding  the  102nd  Anti-Tank  Battery,  2nd  Anti-Tank  Regiment,

RUSSEL.    H. 


Russel,  Hugh  C33-;39),  was  born  October  13,  1921,  at  Montreal, 
Quebec.  He  came  to  the  Junior  School  in  September  1933  and  remained 
at  T.C.S.  for  six  years.  In  his  final  year  he  was  a  member  of  the  Fifth 
McGill  Form,  played  on  the  first  football  team  obtaining  second  team 
colours,  and  was  Captain  of  the  hockey  team.  Because  of  his  leadership 
ability  and  influence  in  the  School,  he  was  made  a  School  Prefect. 

Shortly  after  leaving  T.C.S.,  he  enlisted  in  the  R.C.A.F.  and  was 
commissioned  Pilot  Officer  in  1941,  being  posted  overseas  the  same  year. 
He  took  part  in  the  Dover  Straits  battle  against  the  German  battleships 
Scharnhorst  and  Gneisenau,  and  later  engaged  in  many  sweeps  over  the 
Continent  with  a  Canadian  fighter  squadron.  Promoted  to  Flight 
Lieutenant,  he  returned  to  Canada  for  leave  in  1943,  during  which  he 
visited  the  School  and  spoke  to  the  boys  in  an  unforgettable  way  about 
his  first  experiences  as  a  fighter  pilot.  After  a  period  of  duty  in  Quebec 
he  was  posted  overseas  for  a  second  tour  of  operations.  He  was  serving 
in  a  fighter  squadron  providing  protection  for  the  invasion  of  the  Con- 
tinent when  he  was  reported  missing  over  the  Caen-Falaise-Argentan 
area  of  Normandy.  He  was  later  officially  presumed  killed  in  action  on 
June  16,  1944.

RUSSEL,    H.    D.   S. 

Russel,  Hugh  Dunbar  Sutherland  C31-'34),  was  born  March  11, 
1916,  at  Montreal,  Quebec.  He  came  to  T.C.S.  from  Selwyn  House  in 
1931  and  became  a  member  of  the  Fifth  McGill  Form  in  his  final  year. 
He  played  on  Bigside  football  and  hockey,  winning  second  team  colours 
in  both  sports,  and  also  played  on  the  third  cricket  team.  He  distinguished 
himself  particularly,  however,  as  a  boxer  and  won  the  Bradburn  Cup 
for  being  judged  the  best  boxer  in  the  School.  He  entered  the  faculty 
of  Engineering  at  McGill  University  in  1935  and  in  1938  left  to  obtain  a 
year's  practical  experience  in  the  Sullivan  Mines  at  Kimberley,  B.C. 

Returning  to  McGill  for  a  year  in  1940,  he  joined  the  R.C.N.V.R. 
in  September  of  that  year  and  was  called  out  on  active  service  in 
January  1941.  He  received  his  commission  as  Sub-Lieutenant  the  same 
year  and  was  promoted  Lieutenant  in  1942  on  graduating  from  H.M.C.S. 
Royal  Roads.  After  se-rving  for  six  months  in  a  corvette  on  the  Atlantic, 
in  May  1942  he  volunteered  for  submarine  duty  and  after  a  course  in 
England  was  attached  to  the  Royal  Navy  in  the  Middle  East  serving  in 
H.M.  Submarine  Traveller.  On  December  12,  his  ship  was  reported 
missing  after  operations  in  the  Mediterranean,  and  nothing  further  was 
heard  of  either  the  ship  or  her  crew.

SMITH,  A.   L. 

Smith,  Anthony  Larratt  C17-'25),  was  born  February  22,  1908,  at 
Toronto,  Ontario.  He  came  to  T.C.S.  in  September  1917,  remaining  for 
eight  years.  In  his  final  year  he  was  a  member  of  the  Fifth  Form  and 
a  House  Captain.  An  enthusiastic  athlete,  he  won  his  first  team  colours 
in  both  football  and  hockey.  After  leaving  the  School,  he  went  into 
business,  becoming  a  partner  in  the  insurance  firm  of  Tomenson, 
Saunders,  Smith  and  Garfat.  A  skilful  horseman,  he  was  one  of  the 
best  polo  players  in  Canada  and  often  rode  as  a  jockey  in  races. 

He  enlisted  in  the  R.C.A.  as  a  gunner  at  the  outbreak  of  war  and 
went  overseas  in  1941  after  winning  his  commission.  He  was  promoted 
to  Captain  and  later  took  part  in  the  invasion  of  the  Continent.  On  his 
way  to  Normandy  with  the  invasion  forces,  his  ship  was  torpedoed  and 
he  swam  in  full  equipment  over  a  mile  to  shore.  While  serving  as  a 
Forward  Observation  Officer  directing  the  fire  of  his  guns,  he  was  killed 
by  German  mortar  fire  on  July  27,  1944.

SCHOLFIELD,  G.   P. 

Scholfield,  George  Percival  C17-'24),  was  born  October  9,  1906,  at 
Toronto,  Ontario.  Entering  T.C.S.  in  1917,  he  was  one  of  the  first  members 
of  the  Junior  School.  Throughout  his  seven  years  at  the  School,  he  showed 
himself  to  be  a  keen  student  and  a  good  athlete.  His  chief  sports  interest 
was  football  and  for  two  years  he  was  a  member  of  the  first  team,  being 
awarded  a  Distinction  Cap  in  his  final  year.  He  was  also  a  Gymnast, 
winning  his  colours  on  the  first  Gym.  eight.  For  several  years  he  was 
a  dependable  member  of  the  Choir.  In  his  final  year  he  was  a  most 
capable  Head  Prefect  and  he  won  the  coveted  Bronze  Medal  for  showing 
"steady  perseverance  in  courtesy,  industry  and  integrity".  He  entered 
University  College,  Toronto,  where  he  graduated  four  years  later.  Going 
into  business  he  became  a  partner  in  the  firm  of  Traviss,  Scholfield  and 
Company. 

He  was  called  out  on  active  service  at  the  beginning  of  the  war 
with  the  Royal  Regiment  of  Canada  and  went  overseas  shortly  after- 
wards.  He  became  second-in-command  of  his  regiment  and  conducted 
himself  most  courageously  in  the  attack  on  Dieppe.  He  was  in  command 
of  the  first  wave  of  the  battalion  when  it  attacked  at  Puits  at  dawn  on 
the  19th  of  August,  1942.  Casualties  in  the  infantry  were  very  heavy 
as  a  result  of  the  withering  fire  at  close  range  from  well  prepared 
positions  behind  fixed  barbed  wire  defences.  From  the  initial  landing 
until  toward  the  close  of  the  action,  the  German  defences  kept  up  a 
heavy  concentrated  fire  on  all  beaches,  consisting  of  artillery,  mortars, 
light  and  heavy  machine  guns  down  to  snipers,  all  of  which  was  made 
far  more  effective  by  the  shingle  beach  acting  as  shrapnel  when  hit. 
Major  Scholfield  led  his  troops  gallantly  from  the  landing  crafts  across 
the  bullet-riddled  beach  to  the  enemy's  first  line  of  defence.  In  the 
initial  stages  of  the  battle  he  was  mortally  wounded,  but  still  continued 
to  encourage  and  direct  his  men  until  he  lost  consciousness. 

He  was  reported  missing  and  on  October  22,  a  letter  from  a  brother 
officer,  held  prisoner-of-war,  stated  that  he  had  died  of  wounds  in  a 
German  hospital  at  Morancez,  France,  early  in  September  of  that  year. 

Page  Fifty-three 


His  Colonel  wrote  of  him  as  follows:  "I  think  you  know  what  wr 
thought  of  George  as  a  soldier  and  as  a  man.  He  was  a  fine  example 
at  all  times.  He  was  conscientious  to  the  last  degree  and  never  was 
there  a  more  loyal  officer.  He  was  adored  by  his  men  and  quite  rightly 
so  as  there  was  nothing  he  would  not  do  for  them  if  it  was  within  his 
power.  He  did  a  magnificent  job  at  all  times  ?nd  went  about  his  work 
with  determination  and  a  keen  sense  of  duty.  The  more  difficult  the 
task,  the  more  determined  he  was  to  win  through — he  never  quit.  I  am 
proud  indeed  that  I  hao.  the  privilege  of  being  associated  with  such  a 
perfect  gentleman  and  good  soldier".

STRATHY,  G.    H.   K. 

Strathy,  George  Henry  Kirkpatrick  C29-'34),  was  born  February  13, 
1918,  at  Sopington,  England.  He  came  to  the  Junior  School  from  Toronto 
in  September  1929  and  immediately  began  to  distinguish  himself  in  his 
studies,  passing  six  papers  of  his  Junior  Matriculation  with  high  honours 
even  before  entering  the  Senior  School.  His  brilliant  academic  record, 
however,  did  not  prevent  him  from  taking  an  active  part  in  games  and 
he  obtained  his  colours  for  Middleside  cricket  where  he  excelled  as  a 
bowler.  In  his  leisure  moments,  he  conceived,  edited  and  printed  a 
School  Sheet,  the  Trinity  Tatler,  which  evoked  widespread  interest.  In 
1934,  he  obtained  his  Honour  Matriculation  with  first  class  honours  in 
four  mathematics  and  two  science  papers.  He  was  Head  Boy  and  Chan- 
cellor's Prize  Man,  won  the  Jubilee  Exhibition  and  the  Governor  General's 
Medal  for  Mathematics,  and  was  also  awarded  the  Professor  William 
Jones  Scholarship  in  Mathematics  at  Trinity  College. 

As  he  had  barely  reached  his  sixteenth  year,  and  was  considered 
too  young  for  university,  he  was  sent  to  an  English  Public  School  and 
at  Charterhouse  he  continued  to  show  brilliant  promise  of  scholarship. 
In  1933,  in  the  Ontario  Upper  School  examinations,  he  won  the  First 
Edward  Blake  Scholarship  and  the  Second  Edward  Blake  Scholarship 
at  the  University  of  Toronto,  as  well  as  the  Wellington  Scholarship  in 
Mathematics  at  Trinity  College,  three  of  the  most  coveted  Scholarships 
at  the  University.  He  entered  Trinity  College  in  September  1936  and 
throughout  his  University  career  he  won  distinction  after  distinction;  he 
regularly  headed  his  first  class  honour  group  in  the  Mathematics  and 
Physics  course  winning  some  five  scholarships;  he  was  honoured  in  his 
final  year  for  distinguished  service  to  the  University;  and  he  was  a 
member  of  the  University  of  Toronto  mathematics  team  of  three  which 
won  the  Putnam  award  in  competition  with  some  sixty  other  universities 
on  the  North  American  continent.

WIGLE,  F.  E. 

Wigle,  Frederick  Ernest  C29-'32),  was  born  July  11,  1913,  at 
Hamilton,  Ontario.  He  came  to  T.C.S.  in  September  1929  when  the  Senior 
School  was  at  Woodstock  and  left  from  t'lc  Sixth  Form  in  June  1932. 
Throughout  his  career  at  T.C.S.  he  revealed  exceptional  qualities  of  mind 
and  heart  which  led  to  his  being  awarded  the  Bronze  Medal  for  "steady 
perseverance  in  courtesy,  industry  and  integrity" — an  honour  he  shared 
with  the  Head  Prefect  of  his  year.  Because  of  his  general  standing  in 
the  School  and  unusual  leadership  ability,  he  was  appointed  a  Prefect. 
He  took  an  active  part  in  sports,  being  one  of  the  strongest  football  and 
hockey  players  ever  to  play  on  T.C.S.  teams;  he  was  also  a  member  of 
the  second  eleven  in  cricket.  Entering  McGill,  he  did  well  in  his  course 
and  starred  on  the  University  football  and  hockey  teams.  He  was  picked 
for  the  Eastern  Canada  all  star  football  team.  After  graduation,  he 
entered  business  in  Montreal  and  in  1937  married  Miss  Margaret  Willmot 
Holton  of  Hamilton. 

He  received  his  commission  in  the  Armoured  Corps  in  May  1941 
and  was  promoted  to  Captain  on  proceeding  overseas  in  November  of 
the  same  year.  In  England  he  was  selected  for  a  staff  course,  and  in 
September  1943  was  promoted  to  Major,  later  being  appointed  GSO 1, 
4  Armoured  Division.  In  February  1945,  he  was  appointed  to  the  com- 
mand of  the  Argyll  and  Sutherland  Highlanders  of  Canada  with  the 
rank  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  and  in  March  he  was  awarded  the  O.B.E.  "for 
gallantry,  efficiency  and  devotion  to  duty".  He  fought  his  battalion  all 
through  the  Hochwald  battle  and  then  led  his  men  across  the  Rhine.  It 
was  during  this  period  that  he  was  awarded  the  D.S.O.  for  complete 
disregard  for  personal  safety  in  going  forward  to  rally  and  inspire  his 
men  under  heavy  German  counter  attacks. 

The  official  citation  reads  in  part  as  follows:  "By  4  a.m.  all  objec- 
tives had  been  taken.  From  6  a.m.  on,  the  enemy  shelled  and  mortared 
the  area  incessantly  and  during  the  ensuing  twenty-four  hours  counter- 
attacked eight  times  with  infantry  and  Tiger  tanks.  During  this  time. 
Lt.-Col.  Wigle  was  constantly  forward  with  his  leading  companies,  en- 
Page  Sixty 


couraging  his  men  and  co-ordinating  their  defences.  Despite  heavy 
casualties,  he  directed  the  fire  so  effectively  that  the  final  attack  was 
driven  off  with  great  loss  to  the  enemy.  There  can  be  no  doubt  that  the 
skill,  initiative  and  daring  displayed  by  this  officer  was  directly  respon- 
sible for  the  success  of  this  difficult  operation.  His  courage  was  an 
inspiration  to  all  ranks  under  his  command". 

On  April  12,  he  had  moved  his  tactical  headquarters  into  a  building 
in  a  little  town  which  he  had  captured  west  of  Bremen  and  had  one 
officer  and  ten  other  ranks  with  him.  At  four  in  the  morning,  another 
battalion  drove  eighty  Germans  from  a  strong  point  a  mile  and  a  half 
south  of  the  town.  They  retreated  to  this  town  arriving  about  seven 
a.m.  Half  of  the  men  in  the  building  were  on  the  ground  floor  and  half 
on  the  second  floor.  The  Germans  closed  in,  surrounding  the  house,  and 
fired  at  point  blank  range.  Colonel  Wigle  was  killed  instantly  while 
attempting  to  reach  his  men  on  the  second  floor. 

After  his  death,  he  was  Mentioned  in  Despatches  for  gallant  and 
distinguished  service  on  staff  before  his  appointment  to  the  command 
of  the  Argylls.

"Throughout  the  Scheldt  opera- 
tions which  ended  in  early  Novem- 
ber, Captain  Kerrigan,  14  Field 
Regiment,  Royal  Canadian  Artil 
lery,  proved  himself  a  cool  cour- 
ageous and  astute  forward  observa- 
tion officer.  In  the  closing  phases 
of  the  Scheldt  campaign  it  was 
necessary  to  order  this  officer  to 
rest  from  his  continuous  attention 
to  his  duties.  He  accompanied  and 
assisted  the  foremost  platoons  of 
our  infantry  in  their  difficult  task 
of  clearing  the  enemy  from  the 
dyke  country  from  Biervliet  to 
Knocke.  On  innumerable  occasions 


under  heavy  shelling  and  mortar- 
ing, Captain  Kerrigan  directed  the 
fire  of  his  guns  effectively  upon  the 
enemy  defences,  enabling  the  in- 
fantry he  supported  to  reach  their 
objectives.  In  frequent  locations 
where  observation  was  very  diffi- 
cult, with  gallant  disregard  for  his 
own  life,  he  repeatedly  exposed 
himself  to  enemy  machine  gun  and 
mortar  fire  in  order  to  ascertain 
the  enemy's  positions  and  to  neu- 
tralize or  destroy  them.  His  excel- 
lent example  throughout  has  been 
an  inspiration  to  the  men  and  con- 
tributed greatly  to  the  taking  of 
many  objectives  with  low  casualties 
to  the  infantry  he  supported."

LeMESURIER,    J.    R. 


LeMesurier,  J.  R.  C38-'42),  en- 
listed in  the  R.C.A.  in  April  1943 
and  received  his  commission  the 
same  year.  He  transferred  to  the 
C.I.C.  and  went  overseas  in  June 
1944.  On  loan  to  the  British  Army, 
he  served  with  the  5th  Battalion, 
The  Queen's  Own  Cameron  High- 
landers from  September  1944  to 
April  1945,  being  in  action  with  his 
regiment  in  Holland,  Belgium  and 
Germany.  He  was  wounded  in 
February  1945  in  the  Reichswald 
and  again  very  seriously  in  March 
just  after  crossing  the  Rhine. 
He  was  awarded  the  M.C.  in  Janu- 
ary 1946  with  the  following  cita- 
tion: "Lieutenant  LeMesurier,  on 
loan  to  the  British  Army  since 
October  1944,  has  given  exemplary 
service  to  the  5th  Queen's  Own 
Cameron  Highlanders.  His  devotion 
to  duty,  great  courage,  initiative 
and  leadership  have  been  an  in- 
spiration to  all  who  knew  him. 
Whenever  there  has  been  a  dan- 
gerous and  unpleasant  task,  he  has 
volunteered  for  it  and  carried  it 
through  with  skill  and  daring.  As 
commander  of  the  Battalion  Scout 
Platoon,  until  he  was  seriously 
wounded  after  crossing  the  Rhine, 
he  has  always  led  his  men  with 
great  enthusiasm  and  given  them 
his  greatest  confidence  in  all  their 
difficult  operations.  South  of  the 
Maas,  in  October,  Lieutenant  Le- 
Mesurier led  ten  patrols  and  raids 
against  the  enemy  positions  in  the 
woods  near  Best.  On  one  of  the 
fighting  patrols,  Lieutenant  Le 
Mesurier  met  strong  machine  gun 
and  grenade  opposition  from  an 
enemy  strongpoint  at  thirty  yards 


range.  Under  withering  fire  and 
with  grenades  being  thrown  at  him 
from  three  sides,  he  charged  the 
nearest  post  and  personally  killed 
the  two  machine  gunners  in  it.  The 
remaining  enemy  in  the  vicinity 
scattered  and  fled.  Again  crossing 
the  Zig  Canal  bridgehead,  he  show- 
ed tho  same  bravery  and  his  patrol 
accounted  for  twenty  enemy  snipers 
and  machine  gunners.  In  the 
Reichswald  in  February,  whilst 
commanding  a  platoon,  he,  owing 
to  his  sten  gun  jamming,  killed  two 
of  the  enemy  with  his  only  remain- 
ing weapon,  a  shovel.  His  leader- 
ship, personal  bravery  and  skill 
have  saved  many  casualties  and 
have  been  a  great  contribution  to 
the  many  successes  the  battalion 
has  had.  His  example  throughout 
the  campaign  has  been  superb."

It  became  apparent  that  the  enemy 
were  forming  up  to  launch  a  coun- 
ter-attack. With  great  coolness, 
skill  and  determination,  Capt.  Mar- 
tin went  forward  to  an  exposed 


position  and  brought  observed  artil- 
lery fire  on  the  area  where  the 
enemy  were  forming  up.  This  fire 
broke  up  the  enemy  counter-attack 
and  enabled  the  vital  ground  to  be 
held  until  reinforcements  arrived. 
During  the  action  Acting  Capt.  Mar- 
tin was  wounded,  but  remained  at 
his  post  and  continued  to  support 
the  infantry  until  relieved  three 
hours  later."

McCLOSKEY,   P.   H. 

McCloskey,  P.  H.  C29-'33),  was 
commissioned  in  the  R.C.E.  in 
March  1942  and  served  with  the  2nd 
Field  Company  as  Lieutenant.  He 
went  overseas  in  March  1943  and 
took  part  in  the  invasion  of  the 
Continent  serving  from  D-Plus  Two 
in  France,  Belgium,  Holland  and 
Germany  until  the  end  of  hostilities. 
He  was  awarded  the  M.C.  in  March 
1945  for  distinguished  service  in 
the  Battle  for  the  Hochwald  in  Ger 
many.  His  citation  reads  as  follows: 
"During  the  advance  of  First  Cana- 
dian Army  to  the  Rhine,  4  Canadian 
Infantry  Brigade,  on  2  March,  1945, 
was  ordered  to  seize  the  northern 
part  of  the  Hochwald  Forest  and 
thus  control  the  vital  east-west  road 
through  the  woods.  The  enemy, 
appreciating  the  strategical  value 
of  this  route,  attempted  to  deny  us 
access  to  it  by  blowing  three  large 
craters  in  the  road  at  the  western 
edge  of  the  forest.  Each  crater  was 
blown  by  burying  and  detonating 
pairs  of  500  pound  bombs.  Lieu- 
tenant McCloskey,  2  Canadian  Field 
Company,  Royal  Canadian  En- 
gineers, with  a  sapper  platoon  and 
one  bulldozer  under  command  was 
detailed  to  open  this  route  for 
vehicles  of  the  assault  battalion  and 
subsequent  divisional  traffic.  Hav- 
ing personally  recced  the  position, 
this  officer  led  his  men  forward 
close  upon  the  heels  of  the  attack- 
ing infantry  men  and  commenced 
work.  Completely  contemptuous  of 
a  bitter  battle  being  waged  two  to 
five  hundred  yards  from  his  posi- 
tion he  quickly  devised  a  temporary 


route  which  permitted  the  forward 
flow  of  urgently  required  battle 
supplies  and  the  evacuation  of 
many  wounded  men.  The  enemy, 
becoming  aware  of  what  was 
transpiring  laid  in  a  mortar  con- 
centration on  these  craters,  the 
equal  ol  which  is  rarely  experienced 
in  operations.  Through  hours  of 
the  most  intense  fire  Lieutenant 
McCloskey  refused  to  waver  from 
his  task  and  kept  his  men  available 
to  utilize  every  lull  in  the  mortar- 
ing. Always  the  first  to  emerge 
from  cover  and  the  last  to  take 
shelter  in  the  bitterest  periods  he 
set  an  example  of  heroism  and  per- 
severance which  completely  infect- 
ed all  who  worked  with  him.  On 
one  occasion  when  it  became  im 
possible  to  remain  above  ground,  he 
noticed  six  men  taking  inadequate 
cover  by  the  roadside.  Completely 
disregarding  his  personal  welfare 
he  emerged  from  cover,  worked  his 
way  out  to  these  men  and  led  them 
back  to  a  more  substantial  trench. 
Even  when  a  fresh  sapper  party 
was  brought  in  to  relieve  his 
original  crew,  this  officer  deliberate- 
ly chose  to  remain  at  his  post.  For 
fifteen  hours  he  stayed  at  the  site, 
subjected  to  most  harrowing  fire. 
He  refused  to  spare  himself  until 
this  section  of  the  route  was  suit- 
able for  any  subsequent  traffic.  In 
completing  an  almost  impossible 
task,  Lieutenant  McCloskey  empha- 
tically contributed  to  the  success  of 
a  most  important  operation  and 
displayed  gallantry,  tenacity  and 
magnificent  leadership  worthy  of 
the  highest  tradition  of  the  Cana- 
dian Army".

appeared  in  the  London  Daily  Tele- 
graph on  December  18,  1940:  "He 
was  engaged  in  clearing  debris 
when  a  member  of  the  Home  Guard 
told  him  that  a  big  bomb  which  had 
fallen  in  the  vicinity  had  failed  to 
explode.  He  inspected  the  bomb, 
decided  it  was  in  much  too  dan- 
gerous a  position  to  be  left  there, 
and  obtained  an  army  lorry  and  a 
length  of  cable.  After  fastening 
the  cable  round  the  missile,  2nd 
Lieut.  Patton  sat  on  the  running- 
board  of  the  lorry  to  watch  what 
happened  while  the  bomb  was 
dragged  behind  the  vehicle  to  a 
field.  It  was  decided  that  it  would 
be  best  to  dump  the  bomb  in  an  old 
crater.  After  careful  manoeuvring 


it  was  deposited  gently  in  the  hole. 
2nd  Lieut.  Patton,  an  expert  in 
chemical  engineering,  at  that  time 
knew  nothing  of  the  technique  of 
tackling  unexploded  bombs.  He  be- 
came so  interested  that  he  is  now 
attached  to  a  bomb  disposal  unit  ol 
the  R.E.  He  is  25  and  married".

tenant Rawlinson,  Troop  Leader  of 
the  Support  Troop,  "B"  Squadron,  1 
Canadian  Armoured  Car  Regiment 
(Royal  Canadian  Dragoons),  on  30 
August,  1944,  was  given  the  task  of 
finding  a  crossing  over  the  river 
Foglia  in  an  area  near  Borgo  San 
Maria.  This  officar  was  first  across 
the  river  in  the  face  of  heavy  mor- 
tar and  machine  gun  fire  and  per- 
sonally organized  a  defensive 
bridgehead  which  was  immediately 
strongly  counter-attacked  by  the 
enemy.  This  attack  was  repulsed 
after  very  hard  fighting  during 
which  Lieutenant  Rawiinson  dis- 
played courage  and  leadership  of 
the  highest  order  and  without  which 
a  difficult  situation  might  have  be- 
come critical.  The  advance  was 
resumed.  On  17  September,  1944,  his 
troop  was  given  the  task  of  clearing 
the  enemy  in  the  area  of  the  rail- 
road track  from  the  River  Melo  to 
the  River  Marano,  in  Riccione.  Up- 
on reaching  the  Marano,  Lieutenant 
Rawlinson  saw  that  the  enemy  was 
not  yet  consolidated  on  the  opposite 
bank  of  the  river.  He  led  his  troop 
across  this  dangerous  obstacle  in 
the  face  of  very  heavy  mortar  and 
machine  gun  fire.  The  enemy  im- 
mediately counter-attacked  after  a 


heavy  concentration  of  mortar  fire 
and  inflicted  seven  casualties  on 
Lieutenant  Rawlinson's  troop  after 
fierce  hand  to  hand  fighting.  Al- 
though twice  wounded  and  weak 
from  loss  of  blood,  Lieutenant 
Rawlinson  remained  in  the  fore- 
front of  the  battle  for  half  an  hour. 
By  his  great  courage  and  skill,  he 
rallied  his  troop  and  under  cover 
of  smoke,  he  evacuated  all  casual- 
ties. By  this  time,  he  was  on  the 
verge  of  collapse  from  exhaustion 
and  wounds  but  he  extricated  the 
remainder  of  the  troop,  and  remain- 
ed until  all  his  men  had  been  with- 
drawn to  cover  on  the  south  side  of 
the  river  before  permitting  a  medi- 
cal orderly  to  evacuate  him.  By  his 
courageous  leadership,  drive  and 
initiative,  this  officer  was  largely 
instrumental  in  forcing  the  enemy 
to  withdraw  later  in  the  day,  thus 
securing  the  right  flank  of  three 
Greek  Mountain  Brigade."

his  D.F.C.  in     recognition     of     his 
work  in  escorting  Bomber  missions

follows:     "Since     April     1943,     this 
Officer  as  Wing  Leader  has  led  his 
Wing  on  a  large  number  of  escort 
sorties  without  the  loss  of  a  single 
bomber    to    enemy    fighters.       The 
high  praise  of  his  Wing  for  its  skill 
is  largely  due  to  the  great  devotion 
to  duty  and     ability    displayed    by 
Wing      Commander     Russel".       He 
began    his    third     tour    with    seven

ed in  Rockcliffe  in  1942,  which  was

With  this  Squadron  he  took  part  in 
the  invasion  of  Europe  and  was 
among  the  members  of  the  first 
Wing  of  Spitfires  to  land  in  Europe 
on  the  first  fighter  strip  laid  down 
by  the  Army  engineers.  Following 
his  landing  in  Europe,  he  was  again 
promoted  to  the  rank  of  Wing 
Commander  and  resumed  his  posi- 
tion as  Wing  Commander  Flying  in 
his  old  Wing,  No.  126  Wing.  In 
August  of  that  year  he  was  award- 
ed the  D.S.O.  with  the  following 
citation:  "In  recent  intensive  air 
operations  the  squadrons  under  the 
command  of  Wing  Commander 
Russel  have  completed  a  large  num- 
ber of  sorties.  Within  a  period  of 
three  days  a  very  large  number  of 
transport  vehicles  were  attacked,  of 
which  127  were  set  on  fire  and  a 
greater  number  damaged.  In  addi- 
tion, four  hostile  aircraft  were 
destroyed  and  seventeen  tanks  and 
nineteen  other  armoured  vehicles 
were  damaged.  By  his  masterly 
leadership,  sound  judgment,  and 
fine  fighting  qualities,  Wing  Com- 
mander Russel  played  a  good  part 
in  the  success  achieved.  His  example 
inspired  all".  He  remained  with 
126  Wing  until  just  before  the 
Rhine  River  was  crossed,  when  he 
returned  to  Canada.  He  was  sub- 
sequently honoured  by  the  French 
Government  for  outstanding  service 
in  the  Northwest  European  cam- 
paign by  the  award  of  the  Croix  de

Rifles  of  Canada,  and  served  in

command  of  the  1st  Battalion  of

was  awarded  the  D.S.O.,  O.B.E.,  and 
was  Mentioned  in  Despatches.  The 
citation  for  his  D.S.O.  reads  as  fol- 
lows: "On  6  June,  1944,  as  Com- 
manding Officer  of  one  of  the 
Assault  Battalions,  Lieut.-Colonel 
Spragge  landed  immediately  behind 
his  leading  Companies  at  Bernieres- 
Sur-Mer  and  continued  to  direct  his 
Battalion  from  among  the  forward 
troops  during  the  advance  inland 
until  the  capture  of  the  Brigade's 
final  objective  in  the  evening  of 
D-Day.  He  then  re-organized  his 
Battalion  on  his  right.  After  the 
initial  assault,  progress  was  slow 
and  his  Battalion  was  ordered  to 
push  on  with  all  haste  in  order  to 
ensure  that  the  high  ground  which 
was  the  final  objective  was  secured 
before  dark.  That  this  operation 
was  carried  out  was  largely  due  to 
the  personal  drive  of  this  Officer. 
On  June  11,  1944,  when  his  Bat- 
talion was  supporting  an  Armoured 
Attack,  this  Officer  personally 


accompanied  his  two  leading  Com- 
panies. Strong  enemy  resistance 
broke  up  this  attack,  during  which 
one  of  the  Companies  suffered  very 
heavily.  By  a  quick  decision  made 
under  heavy  fire,  Lieut.-Colonel 
Spragge  was  able  to  manoeuvre  the 
remainder  of  his  force  and  success- 
fully carry  out  his  new  plan. 
Throughout  the  first  day's  fighting 
and  in  this  subsequent  action  Lieut.- 
Colonel  Spragge  displayed  marked 
courage,  coolness  and  determina 
tion,  and  by  his  leadership  ensured 
the  successful  carrying  out  of  the 
tasks  given  to  his  Battalion.  His 
actions  throughout  were  an  ex- 
ample to  all."

TAYLOR,   P.  Y. 

Taylor,  P.  Y.  C34-'35),  served  as 
Lieutenant  in  the  United  States 
Army  Air  Corps.  During  his  service 
against  the  Japanese  he  was  award- 
ed the  D.F.C.  and  Air  Medal.  An 
official  Army  Air  Force  communi- 
que concerning  the  award  of  his 
D.F.C.  reads  as  follows:  "Covering 
the  air  attack  on  Morotai,  as  Yank 
landing  barges  scraped  ashore  on 
the  Jap-held  island,  Lieut.  Taylor 
and  his  crew  members  of  a  Catalina 
Flying  boat,  observed  two  fighter 
pilots  floating  in  the  water  between 
Morotai  and  nearby  Halmahera 
Island,  where  they  had  been  shot 


down.  Enemy  gun  positions  were  on 
one  side  of  the  fliers,  while  barge- 
mounted  machine  guns  kept  up  an 
incessant  cross  fire  on  the  other 
side.  In  spite  of  no  fighter  protec- 
tion, a  choppy  sea  making  the  land- 
ing dangerous,  and  Jap  batteries 
opening  up  as  the  plane  approached, 
the  crew  set  the  ship  down  within 
100  feet  of  one  pilot.  The  rescue 
was  made  in  a  few  minutes  but  the 
second  pilot  was  killed  by  machine 
gun  fire  before  the  plane  got  to 
him." 

The  citation  reads  as  follows: 
"During  the  entire  operation  the 
rescue  aircraft  was  subjected  to  in- 
cessant enemy  barrage  which  dam- 
aged it  severely.  The  outstanding 
courage  and  devotion  to  duty  dis- 
played by  these  crew  members 
under  hazardous  conditions  are 
worthy  of  the  highest  commenda- 
tion. Lieut.  Taylor,  who  escaped 
uninjured  from  the  daring  rescue, 
has  flown  more  than  75  rescue  mis- 
sions with  the  'Snafu  Snatchers', 
13th  A.A.F.  Rescue  unit."

while  serving  in  the  Mediterranean 
where  he  was  twice  torpedoed,  he 
was  Mentioned  in  Despatches  for 
his  part  in  the  Battle  of  Crete.  A 
signal  from  the  British  Admiralty 
said:  "The  King  has  approved  the 
following  award  for  Battle  of 


Crete:  Donald  Mackenzie  Waters, 
Mentioned  in  Despatches.  Midship- 
man Waters,  in  the  two  and  one 
half  years  in  which  he  has  been  in 
the  Navy,  has  logged  more  hours 
of  experience  and  excitement  than 
many  seafaring  men  have  seen  in  a 
lifetime  of  service.  Some  months 
ago  the  British  cruiser  in  which  he 
was  serving  in  the  Mediterranean 
was  torpedoed.  No  sooner  was  he 
transferred  to  a  second  cruiser  than 
it  was  torpedoed  in  turn,  this  time 
in  the  Battle  of  Crete.  Waters'  diary 
is  not  available  to  describe  the 
dramatic  incidents  that  accom- 
panied the  rescue  of  his  ship's  com- 
pany, but  the  grim  defense  of  Crete 
in  which  he  took  part  is  fairly  well 
known  from  other  sources.  It  was 
during  these  hectic  days  that,  by 
some  act  of  cool  courage  and  initia- 
tive, he  earned  his  Mention  in 
Despatches."

OLD  BOYS  WHO  ENLISTED  IN  THE  SOUTH  AFRICAN  WAR 
AND  IN  THE  FIRST  WORLD  WAR 

In  the  following  pages  we  are  giving  the  names  of  Old  Boys 
who  served  in  the  South  African  War  and  the  First  World  War, 
together  with  some  relevant  details.  The  information  had  to  be 
extracted  from  notes  and  records  printed  many  years  ago  and 
we  apologize  in  advance  for  the  errors  which  are  bound  to  be 
discovered.  We  feel  that  it  will  be  invaluable  to  have  in  one 
volume  as  complete  a  list  as  possible  of  all  Old  Boys  who  enlisted 
in  time  of  war. 

It  is  important  to  remember  that  all  T.C.S.  Boys  who  en- 
listed in  the  South  African  War,  the  First  World  War,  and  the 
Second  World  War  were  volunteers.

The  Cadet  Corps,  first  organized  in  1865  by  a  Waterloo  vet- 
eran and  carried  on  since  then,  won  the  Imperial  Challenge  Shield 
for  shooting  in  1944  in  competition  with  some  eight  hundred 
other  Schools  in  the  Empire. 

For  five  successive  years  the  Corps  has  come  first  in  Canada 
in  the  same  competition. 


During  the  war,  special  bursaries  were  given  to  the  sons  of 
men  on  active  service  when  such  assistance  was  requested. 


One  hundred  and  five  boys  from  English  Schools  were 
educated  at  T.C.S.  after  war  was  declared.  Where  necessary,  the 
Governing  Body  postponed  the  payment  of  fees  for  such  boys. 


The  School  sent  "The  Record"  to  all  Old  Boys  on  Active 
Service  six  times  a  year  during  the  war,  free  of  charge.  Over- 
seven  hundred  pages  of  Old  Boys'  News  were  printed  during 
these  years. 


Parcels  of  food  and  packages  of  cigarettes  were  sent  regu- 
larly to  Old  Boys  overseas  and  in  prison  camps,  either  directly 
or  through  the  Red  Cross. 


Masters  and  boys  contributed  some  eleven  thousand  dollars 
to  War  Funds. 


In  school  work,  the  Sixth  Forms  of  1942-43,  and  1943-44 
obtained  the  best  records  in  our  history  in  the  Upper  School  or 
Senior  Matriculation  examinations,  and  a  record  not  equalled  by 
any  other  School  in  the  Province.

AVE   ATQUE   VALE 

To  our  Founder  and  all  those  closely  associated 
with  our  beginning;  to  our  Headmasters  and  Masters 
who  have  cherished  the  School  and  have  given  so 
much  of  their  lives  in  its  service;  to  our  Governors 
who  have  lent  themselves  selflessly  in  the  promotion 
of  our  welfare;  to  all  the  boys  who  through  their 
happy  and  brave  natures,  their  diligence  and  affec- 
tionate loyalty,  their  gallantry  and  sacrifice  in  time 
of  war,  have  shaped  for  us  fine  traditions  and  strong 
character;  to  all  those  our  kind  friends  who  valued 
highly  our  work  and  sought  in  every  way  to  assist 
us;  to  all  these  we  give  our  deep  and  humble  thanks, 
pledging  ourselves  to  be  faithful  to  the  noble  heritage 
which  they,  in  their  strength  and  goodness,  have 
nourished  and  protected  for  us.
